I'm back with my first ever song fic! This was meant to be a River/Eleven fic, but it turned into an all-out companion fic based on the song I just call you mine by Martina McBride. It's kind of like how I'd imagine a music video of it to be, but I don't have the footage or the skill. It jumps around a bit; would make much more sense as a video, if someone wants to make one. Italics are lyrics, and the story is regular.
I don't own Doctor Who or the song above mentioned
I pinch myself sometimes to make sure I'm not in a dream
"Oh, you're not, are you? Tell me you're not archaeologists!" The Doctor cried out at her
That's how it seems
She gave him a mockingly upset look "Got a problem with archaeologists?"
I close my eyes and breathe in the sweetest moments I've ever known
"I'm a time traveler. I point and laugh at archaeologists"
She gave a silly smile "Ah. Professor River Song, archaeologist."
It feels like home
"River Song, lovely name" he said smiling
And here I am I want to be your everything
There you are
"As you're leaving, and you're leaving now... you need to set up a quarantine beacon. Code-wall the planet, the whole planet."
Turning winter into spring
He shot them a heroic look "Nobody comes here, not ever again... not one living thing, not here, not ever"
And everyone that sees you
Jack was telling the Doctor his story, ending it with "Still, at least we made it. Earth, 21st century by the looks of it. Ha, ha, talk about lucky"
Always want's to know you
"That wasn't luck," the Doctor said, cocky as ever. "That was me"
And everyone that knows you
"I'm gonna save Rose Tyler from the middle of the Dalek Fleet, and then I'm gonna save the Earth, and then just to finish off, I'm gonna wipe every last STINKING Dalek outta the sky!" the Doctor shouted in passion
Always has a smile
Rose listens, the pride evident in her eyes. The others glance at him in awe.
You're standing ovation after years of waiting
Martha gathered everyone around "There's someone else. The man who sent me out there. The man who told me to walk the Earth"
For a chance to finally shine
"His name is the Doctor. He has saved your lives so many times, and you never even knew he was there"
Everyone calls you amazing
"He never stops. He never stays. He never asks to be thanked"
Yeah
"But I've seen him. I know him"
I just call you mine
"I love him"
I fall apart
"Shut up! I can't let you die!" River cried out, tears streaking down her face.
Just a word from you just somehow
seems to fix
Whatever's wrong
The Doctor leaned over, and whispered into her ear and she reacts as if she's just be told something wonderful, the secret of the ages.
Oh, you reach into the weakest moments
And remind me that I'm strong
"Now there you go, River Song. Melody Pond. You're the woman who married me" he said happily
You've got to know
I'd be a fool not to see you even worse
"Wife, I have a request. This world is dying, and it's my fault, and I can't bear it another day. Please, help me" he pleaded, not for his own sake, but everyone elses
To forget that you're more than I deserve
River relented, knowing she had no choice. "Then you may kiss the bride"
Cause everyone that sees you
Donna gave her grandfather a sad little smile. "I'm not drifting. I'm waiting"
Always want's to know you
"For a man," she said. "But, he's real. I've seen him. I've met him, just once. And then... I let him fly away"
And everyone that knows you
Wilf tipped his hat
Always has a smile
"Well there you are, go and find him!´he said, understanding how amazing this man must be
You're standing ovation after years of waiting
Donna knew then and there she had to find the man. "I'll find him Gramps, even if I have to wait a hundred years. I'll find him"
For a chance to finally shine
He had to figure out the reason why they were there. " It doesn't want you. That's why it kept showing you a way out. You're not religious or superstitious, so there's no faith for you to fall back on. It wants her"
Everyone calls you amazing
Amy looked up surprised. "Your faith in me" he said "That's what brought us here"
Yeah
I just call you mine
"My raggedy man"
Nothing makes sense when you're not here
"You can let me do this!" The Doctor yelled at her
As if my whole world disappears
"If you die here, it'll mean I've never met you" River said sadly. "Time can be rewritten" he made the desperate plea.
Without you what's the point of it
She gave him a grave look. "Not those times. Not one line! Don't you dare! It's OK. It's OK, it's not over for you. You'll see me again. You've got all of that to come. You and me, time and space. You watch us run!"
Cause everyone that sees you
"I used to dream about you. All those stories Amy told me" Mels gazed up at him
Always want's to know you
"When I was little, I was going to marry you" she gave a small smile
And everyone that knows you
The Doctor ran down to the group. "I'm being extremely clever up here, and there's no-one to stand around, looking impressed. What's the point in having you all?"
Always has a smile
River got irritated but had a great grin nonetheless. "Couldn't you just slap him sometimes?"
You're the dream that I've been chasin' after years of waiting
"It's not the sun, it's you" she said to him.
For a chance to finally shine
"The sky is full of a million, million voices, saying yes, of course we'll help!"
Everyone calls you amazing
"You've decided that the universe is better off without you, but the universe doesn't agree"
I just call you mine
"It's my birthday. The Doctor took me ice skating on the River Thames in 1814, the last of the great frost fairs. He got Stevie Wonder to sing for me under London Bridge" River smiled, knowing her Doctor would do anything for her.
Everyone calls you amazing
The man was amazed. "A whole Cyber legion though. He just blew them all up. To make a point! Digger says he once chased the Atraxi off a planet, then called them back for a scolding!"
I just call you mine
River put her hands around his face and smiled down at him as he woke up.
"River? No! What are you doing?" the Doctor cried out
"Hello Sweetie" was her only response before bending over and kissing him, transferring her regenerative energy.
